In Sicilia 31 olds (on average) out of a hundred can not read, write and do not know if they can figure out what is written in a newspaper.
the data emerging from research carried out by OECD-Pisa (Programme for International Student Assessment) knowledge of reading, mathematics and science for children aged 15 to 65 countries on five continents, according to which in Europe are twenty to one hundred the youngsters of this age "who lack the basic skills reading and writing, which makes them more difficult to find work and places them at risk of social exclusion. " And it gets better in the rest of Italy, a total of 21%, with significant differences from region to region (12% in Lombardy, Lazio 22).
They call him "illiterate" and is perhaps the most painful defeat of the whole company managed to frustrate the "conquest" of compulsory schooling (which in Italy for the first time - it's worth pointing out - albeit only for the first three years of elementary school, was introduced in 1877 and came to school already in the earliest years of the twentieth century) set out again from that Italian Constitution (Article 34) in the Berlusconi government would like to make paper.
than 130 years after the first formulation of compulsory education, 31.4% of Sicily olds (as mind-boggling if we extrapolate the fifteen boys, because rising to 43%) is illiterate, in fact suffering from more severe disease than The European Commission called "functional illiteracy" phenomenon so alarming, especially in terms of employment opportunities, to induce the government of Europe to establish a team of experts to identify the causes and find solutions.
A couple of reasons - for Italy - we could already indicate us, knowing that if this continues, the situation will only get worse. One is called
Mariastella Gelmini, Minister of the res publica that cuts funding to public schools to divert funds towards the private (i diplomifici where the qualification you buy it and you do not even pretend to study), the minister who back to life something very similar and basic vocational training and thus the clean break between the schools for the children of the rich, for use by divine right to become rich, and schools for children of poor, doomed to remain so, that the minister - not able, as he would like, physically eliminate the teachers, the last bulwark of a democratic school that teaches to think - delete and re-master single-presences. That in the end they really physically liquidated teachers: one hundred and thirty thousand more than at home, three thousand only in Sicily. And they killed those who need more than others to be taken by the hand to go through life.
The other reason is called Berlusconi: the sewer where they teach you that there is no need to be good to become ministers, deputy ministers, parliamentarians, regional councilors. If you are parliamentary, just as a prostitute in the vote to become a minister or deputy minister (probably there is a tariff) if you are not a damn thing, just sell your body to be elected a. And the more you are a process from a cultural perspective, the better: You can certainly sgallinare or bully slick in the head and tv olds to believe that life is. Once, in Italy out of the war, there was a school that sought to restore dignity to a humiliated people, there was the certainty that it is culture that is redemption, there were workers who knew the value of ethics and Social learning and were not afraid to shoulder many years of sacrifices to send their children to school and then college because they knew that eventually would have been morally rewarded, and today the line the enactment of the TV Berlusconi, the school is false of reality, where you teach that does not take much, just enough time for a quickie, to make a career. And perhaps it is no coincidence that these guys are the ones who are writing - and not just in text messages - "even" with the hood, "po '" with the accent and "no" without either: it is not credible and that the do to save time and characters. And 'that the brain has shrunk.
So soon the percentage of "functional illiterates" will rise to 30%, 40%, 50% ... and those, tomorrow will be the new voters of the old and new pork levers in Sicily - for lack of work, desperation, ambition for wealth at all costs, because their parents have fueled school absenteeism, turning a blind eye, sometimes need more for convenience - will join the ranks of the Mafia and clientelism.
Then, if there is a later need to shovel the debris and rebuild from scratch, as when a war ends. But unfortunately there will be no TV in the master Manzi and maybe it will be too late.
